Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ୪ has the Unicode code point U+0B6A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0B6A to binary:
00001011 01101010
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100000 10101101 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+0B6A is known as the Oriya Digit Four. This digit belongs to the Oriya script, which is primarily used in the Indian state of Odisha (formerly known as Orissa). The Oriya script is an abugida system, similar to the Devanagari and Gurmukhi scripts. In digital text, U+0B6A typically represents the numeral "4" in texts that use the Oriya script. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and consistency within digital platforms for the Oriya language, enabling smooth communication among native speakers as well as facilitating translation efforts. As more content in the Oriya script becomes available in digital form, characters such as U+0B6A become increasingly important for preserving cultural identity and promoting literary heritage.
